Remove the driveshaft from your 4 runner for less weight, drive it in fwd.

I did that when I broke the rear joints, and I found out first hand how evil, disgraceful and overall shitty FF is.

I could burn the tires at like 15% throttle, and they were 285/75/16's with 90% tread.

not all 4runners came in 4x4, it was a SR5 package.

most limited 4runners dont have it.

notice the small shifter to the right of my main tranny shifter.

that indicates its 4x4

cool door!

yeah, the cage is that way most likely to make up for the rice paper thin doors. :wink:

i still like the execution of the doors and the static upper window frames to boot!
